Cayuga County Legislator Daniel P. Sincebaugh today was fined $1,000 and had his driver’s license revoked for a year after he pleaded guilty to aggravated driving while intoxicated.

Auburn City Judge Michael McKeon also ordered Sincebaugh to complete an outpatient alcohol treatment program, to serve 25 hours of community service and to pay an additional $395 in penalties and court fees, according to court officials.

"He (pleaded guilty) to put this behind him. He feels good about his life, where it's going and is looking to the future for brighter things,'' Chirco said.

It’s the first-term Democratic legislator’s second brush with the law in the past two years. In February 2009, Sincebaugh, 37, of 147 Garrow St. Ext., was arrested following a domestic incident that turned violent. Those charges were later reduced to disorderly conduct.

This summer Sincebaugh’s blood alcohol content measured 0.24 percent, three times the state’s legal limit of 0.08 percent, after his pickup truck hit a utility pole near the corner of Dexter Avenue and Willard Street the night of Aug. 15, city police said.

Sincebaugh was charged with aggravated DWI because his blood alcohol content posted higher than 0.18 percent. The charge is a misdemeanor.

Under terms of his one-year conditional discharge sentence, Sincebaugh has to stay out of trouble with the law for the next 12 months or he could be re-sentenced up to a year in jail on the DWI charge. He was also allowed to drive to and from work and must install an ignition locking device, a court spokeswoman said.
